Peter Leithart on African Christian Theology
By Scott Kistler On April 16, 2010 · 2 Comments · In The Mysterious World of American Evangelicalism, Theology

Well, I’m now a community blogger at Endued! As I read it, one of the key aims of Endued is to be a witness for the Lord Jesus to the surrounding culture. Hopefully, my musings will in some way help to advance this aim.
The context for my becoming a community blogger was my recent [...]
One of the puzzling facets of the Christian life as I live it and see it lived is the lack of joy that we have. It seems to me that many Americans are living lives of quiet desperation, under layers of regret, hopelessness, frustration and outright depression. This applies to the unsaved as well as [...]
I have written in the past about the coexistence of Islam and Secularism; (here and here for example). According to the Washington Post, Islamic murderer Nidal Hasan gave a presentation to the Army about which the Post says:
Under the “Conclusions” page, Hasan wrote that “Fighting [...]
There’s currently a lot of talk in conservative circles about what is wrong with the movement and how we have arrived at this fearful destination in the history of our country. It seems to me that in order to figure out where we are now, we first need to determine how we got here. One [...]

It is unfortunate that many Calvinists have established a stereotype of being arrogant, mean, and snobby about their theological convictions. It is for this reason that I do believe a recently converted Calvinist should be locked in a closet for a few months before speaking to anyone [...]
As I continue to work through my thesis research, I have come across a reoccurring phrase, “apocalyptic determinism”. Translated into simple language, it means “God is in control of what He is going to do”. It is the foundation for apocalyptic literature that God is in control of the future. Some folks have a tough [...]

Johnson, D.E. (1997). The Message of Acts in the History of Redemption. Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian and Reformed.
I am not shocked to see that Dr. Johnson’s first person thanked under “Acknowledgments” is none other than Dr. Richard B. Gaffin, Jr. While I strongly disagree with Gaffin’s contribution to [...]

You answer below appears to have [...]
Is the cross of Christ (i.e. what he gave up and experienced) diminished by affirming that God the Son died as a human being but his divine nature did not die?
That’s what my response to an email is about.
